Tokenomics 101: The Real Economics of Running AI at Scale
This peer-led roundtable will bring together technology, operations and finance leaders to examine what AI is really costing firms today, and how to keep that spend under control as adoption scales.
The discussion will explore how to forecast token spend before it blows through the annual budget, using a live example walkthrough, the shift in value from model choice to the workflow layer, and the cost levers available through model-agnostic architecture, stronger harnesses and smarter tooling. Participants will also consider how to evaluate their own token consumption as adoption grows, what to ask vendors on pricing, how to measure efficient end-user consumption, and how firms are building a repeatable model for budgeting AI spend across teams.
Hosted by: F2
When: Tuesday, 22 September | 12:00 – 12:30 | Day 1
